Tracing their roots back to the ye olde times of 1893, Dundee football club proudly stakes its claim within the realm of Scottish football, their thunderous games echoing in the walls of Scot Foam Stadium, a name that echoes alongside it. An air of sweat, determination and half-time pies pervades this glowing emblem of Scotland.
Looking at the financial side of things, if we're to believe the well-informed lot over at Transfermarkt, the combined market value of the lads in blue hovers around an impressive £9m. Not quite the GDP of a small country, but not half bad either.
The Dundee roster consists of 31 players keen to make their mark on the pitch, an intriguing mixed bag of youthful vim and experience. The average age of this motley crew glides around 25 years - an age ripe for both resilience and wisdom in the game.
Not ones to rest on their laurels, Dundee have been charging ahead in two competitions this season, namely the Scottish Premiership and the League Cup (Group C). And, just perhaps, their historical rivals might have braced themselves for a resurgent Dundee. But alas, let's not drift into that pre-2013 "Old Firm" broth, it's a bit too indigestible at times.
